Only pending change may be a LHP in the pen, I'm not comfortable with Affeldt resuming his role, so hopefully one of my guys signs.

Strength is obvious- the rotation... bullpen is solid.

Too many of my offensive eggs are in the "I hope Bobby Abreu doesn't suck as much as he did last season" basket... With Mora and Dye, I should have a little more power, still not thrilled with the lineup, but until I can get a player(JASON BAY) to commit to me long term, I gotta keep putting together makeshift lineups with old geezers on 1 and 2 year deals.

Division is still the best in baseball, so a 4th place finish wouldn't shock me, but here's hoping that I can repeat for the Wild Card.

So with Figgins in the lineup and Mora on the bench, the rich NL West just got richer.

Hey, 3/5 of my rotation is young... but thats about it. The rest are old farts.

That team is as miserable as your face.

Me and my 2009 wild card, and getting teabagged by milwaukee in the first round says otherwise.
